Corsair H100i in push pull with included fans and HD120

[Jerped]

I will go straight to the point. I want to know if push pull with different model of fans is good or not?

 

I would use the included fans in push and put some HD120 in pull.

 

They don' have the same specs though:

 

Corsair HD120

Airflow                          54.4 CFM

Static Pressure            2.25 mmH20

Sound Level                18-30 dBA

Speed                          800 - 1725 +/- 10%

 

Corsair H100I v2 fans:

Fan airflow                   70.69 CFM

Fan static pressure      4.65 mmH2O

Fan noise level            37.7 dB(A)

Fan speed                    2435 +/- 10% RPM

 

 

 

Do you think it's a good idea?

Put the stronger fans in pull - and weaker ones in push. This way you will avoid getting air stuck in the radiator due to imbalance.

Otherwise do you think only using the HD ones will make a big difference vs your recommended configuration or only the original fans?

I set up my push pull on a regular h100 using the original fans + 2x SP120. The benefit of such a setup is that even slower rotations (less noise) - you still get enough heat dissipation.

So if you can fit 2 extra fans, try it out. Much easier to remove the two extra afterward - than adding them later.

Yeah I will try that ^^

the goal was to have the radiator in the top of my case as exhaust, with the HD fans pulling (for RGB sex appeal  ) and the stock fans pushing (for that extra powa)

 

 

OH WAITTTTTT

 

I just noticed that if I put the rad in the top, it will be SP120 fans instead of HD. The specs are almost the same though:

Airflow                    52 CFM

Static Pressure       1.45 mmH20

Sound Level           26 dBA

Speed                     1400 +/- 10%
